.... Nothing better than sometimes being lucky ....
...... Back when I was young and dummer I’d hunt in whatever. Boots, duck boots, tennis shoes…3 pair of socks . I mistreated my poor feet for years. I found Danner boots about 10 years ago, my feet have been much happier!..Bloo
D2..it is fantastic to see that you have kept those trinkets of your times afield. Somewhere I have similar paperwork from our WV state antlerless deer hunting program. Back then it was the only way you could harvest doe, by lottery. I drew 2 tags the first year! My oldest son and I went out to fill them. To me , it was all about him getting to harvest his first deer. It was cold , snow covered and wet. In time we found some deer feeding out of the wood line about 60 yards from our location. I talked to him quietly, coaching him along the shot process. He had shot his rifle on paper and was a very good shot. “Just hold right on her shoulder and squeeze “ ….. “don’t be nervous, just breathe and wait for the shot”………”go ahead and shoot when your ready”….
No shot came, the does fed back onto the woods and we’re gone. I was rather selfishly upset with him for not taking the opportunity. My son said he couldn’t get a good rest and didn’t want to place a bad shot. I frowned about it. I didn’t know for quite some time that he simply did not want to kill the animal. He just couldn’t bring himself to end it’s life. Later on in life, he explained it to me. I felt so bad, so wrong, for pressuring him the way I did as a child of 10 years young. But, in the same instance I found a greater respect for my son , and his ethics. I learned from him as he learned from me, to respect the hearts and minds of both hunters and non-hunters alike. I have 2 sons. The younger loves hunting just as I do. We are still hunting partners to this day. The elder son goes along sometimes as a spectator and drag hand, and we still have a wonderful time in the woods together!

Agreed!I'm mostly a hunter now and seldom pull the trigger.
Buck sells knives under its name made both in China and the USA. Those made in the USA seem much superior and hold an edge. The others not so much. Look for the small print on the package (and stamped on the base of the blade).Buck knives always gave me problems keeping sharp.
I would have guested you were hunting with your 264 Sporter. I know how proud you are of that rifle and I bet to you it's worth more than the 218 Bee that just sold. I was hunting with my GA. I no longer have it, I gave it you my son (the one that hunts), so its in the family and I could borrow it if needed.
